It was a summary of my life in spring 2020. Suddenly, everything that had mattered – passion for the work, the work itself, the relationship, one of the dogs dead, my mother dead, my grandmother gone, no family, no friends, no hope for a better life – was gone. There seemed to be no more […]

This image speaks at first glance of a client-agent relationship. Whether that helper is a therapist, mentor, coach or experience counsellor. But in my view, a manager is also a helper. Perhaps the picture is also about the relationship between the manager and the team member. But since we have not taught anyone to communicate

The first temptation is to diagnose (e.g. narcissist) a highly egocentric, aggressive and unemotional leader. Diagnosis, however, is generally not so much a question of acceptance of responsibility as of politeness. But in life, many of us come across leaders who run over people, only highlight their own achievements and direct people to admire themselves

What would you do if you are walking down the street and a man comes up to you, covered in many scabby wounds and a dirty plastic bag, who looks more or less clean, but you can tell by the way he looks that he doesn’t seem to be doing too well. This man walked

We make smaller and bigger choices in our lives every day. Some choices have already been made and we call them habits. Choices can never be made again, because there is never exactly the same situation, but we can always make choices in a new situation. One of the problems of being human is that
